COMMODITY STANDARDSSimplified Practice Recommendations and Commercial Standards
are developed by manufacturers, distributors, and users in coopera-tion with the Commodity Standards Division^ of the National Bureauof Standards. The purpose of Simplified Practice Recommendationsis to eliminate avoidable waste through the establishment of standardsof practice for stock sizes and varieties of specific commodities thatcurrently are in general production and demand. The purpose ofCommercial Standards is to establish standard methods of test, rating,
certification, and labeling of commodities, and to provide uniformbases for fair competition.The adoption and use of a Simplified Practice Recommendation or
Commercial Standard is voluntary. However, when reference to aCommercial Standard is made in contracts, labels, invoices, or ad-vertising literature, the provisions of the standard are enforceablethrough usual legal channels as a part of the sales contract.
A Simplified Practice Recommendation or Commercial Standardoriginates with the proponent industry. The sponsors may be manu-facturers, distributors, or users of the specific product. One of thesethree elements of industry submits to the Commodity StandardsDivision the necessary data to be used as the basis for developing astandard of practice. The Division, by means of assembled confer-
ences or letter referenda, or both, assists the sponsor group in arriving
at a tentative standard of practice and thereafter refers it to the otherelements of the same industry for approval or for constructive criti-
cism that will be helpful in making any necessary adjustments. Theregular procedure of the Division assures continuous servicing of eacheffective Simplified Practice Recommendation and CommercialStandard, through review and revision, whenever, in the opinion ofthe industry, changing conditions warrant such action. Simplified
Practice Recommendations and Commercial Standards are printedand made available by the Department of Commerce through theGovernment Printing Office.
COMMERCIAL STANDARD FOR ENAMELEDCAST-IRON PLUMBING FIXTURES
On December 29, 1947, at the instance of the Enameled Cast IronPlumbing Fixtures Association, the recommended revision of theCommercial Standard for Sanitary Cast-Iron Enameled Ware, pro-
posed by the Association and adjusted in accordance with commentfrom other interested organizations, was circulated to the trade for
written acceptance. Those concerned have since accepted and ap-proved the second edition. Commercial Standard for Enameled Cast-Iron Plumbing Fixtures, as shown herein.
Project Manager: A. S. Best, Commodity Standards Division,
National Bureau of Standards.Technical Adviser: J. C. Richmond, Mineral Products Division,
National Bureau of Standards.
1 Effective July 1, 1947, the Division of Simplified Practice, organized in 1921, and the Division of TradeStandards, organized in 1927, were combined to form the Commodity Standards Division. Since their
organization, both of these Divisions have assisted many industries in the development of Simplified Prac-
tice Recommendations and Commercial Standards for a wide variety of commodities. A list of previously
established Commercial Standards appears herein. A list of effective Simplified Practice Recommendationsmay be obtained from the Commodity Standards Division, National Bureau of Standards, Washington25, D. C.

COMMERCIAL STANDARD CS77-48
for
ENAMELED CAST-IRON PLUMBING FIXTURES(SECOND EDITION) 2
PURPOSE
1 . The purpose of this commercial standard is to establish minimumstandard specifications, definitions, inspection rules, types and sizes
of standard items, and methods of test for enameled cast-iron plumb-ing fixtures, for the guidance of manufacturers, distributors, andusers of these products. By general acceptance and use of thestandard, and by certifying conformity with the requirements, essen-
tial quality is maintained for the promotion of fair competition andgreater consumer acceptance, to the mutual advantage of all concerned.
SCOPE
2. This standard provides minimum requirements for enameledcast-iron plumbing fixtures such as bathtubs, lavatories, kitchensinks, laundry trays, drinking fountains, and similar fixtures, as well
as types and sizes of standard items. Requirements include material,
thickness, warpage, enameling, acid-resistance, inspection rules, andmarking.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
3. Material of base .—The metal base shall be one-piece high-gradecast iron, strong, sound, true to form, and free from porosity or anyother defects which may affect the serviceability of the fixtures.
4. Thickness of base metal . —The cast-iron base shall have a thick-
ness of not less than )i inch at any point not less than 1 inch from anyedge.
5a. Enameling .—The enameled surface of each fixture shall becoated with porcelain enamel applied by the dry process, andthoroughly fused to the cast-iron base. There shall be no appearanceof inadequate coveripg. The enamel shall be glossy and free fromflaws which affect the appearance or may affect the serviceability of
the fixture. The thickness of the enamel as measured on a flat
surface at least 1 inch from any edge shall be not less than 0.025 inch.
(See footnote 3.) Blemishes shall be limited in accordance with theinspection rules herein. The unenameled surface of each fixture shall
be treated with one coat of filler, ground coat or paint.
2 This second edition supersedes CS77-40, Sanitary Cast-Iron Enameled Ware.3 The thickness of the enamel may be determined conveniently without damaging the fixture, by using a
thickness gage for nonmagnetic coatings on a magnetic base. The thickness of the cast-iron base may bedetermined by subtracting the thickness of the enamel from the total calipered thickness.

2 Commercial Standard CS77-Ji8
5b. Acid-resisting enamel shall be acid-resisting throughout theentire enamel thickness and shall pass successfully the tests specified
in paragraph 58.
6. Warpage.—Warpage of edges^set against wall or floor, and edgesof roll-rim and flat-rim sinks, where set into cabinets or counter tops,
shall not exceed Ke inch per foot when tested according to the methodgiven in paragraph 57. Warpage of all other edges shall not exceed
%2 inch per foot when tested according to the same method.7. Dimensional tolerances.—Fixtures shall conform to the specified
dimensions, subject to a variation of not more than plus or minus3 percent, except where dimensions are specified as “maximum,'^^‘minimum,’' or “approximate.” Where an approximate dimensionis given, the nearest commercial equivalent size, within plus or minus5 percent of the dimension given, is intended, so as to provide for
minor size variations between manufacturers as well as ordinarymanufacturing variations.
8. Colored ware.—In addition to white, four basic colors are re-
cognized as standard; namely, green, blue, ivory, and peach-brown.The exact color furnished is determined l3y each manufacturer, in
accordance with his individual production problems.

DEFINITIONS
51. Inspection window.—A circular opening 3 inches in diameter cutfrom a small sheet of any flexible material, such as rubber or paper,for convenience in sliding over irregular surfaces to determine segre-
gation. A segregation is a collection of blemishes within the inspec-tion window greater than permitted by table 1.
52. Flaws.Cracked flxture.—^A flxture with a rupture extending through both
the casting and enamel.Craze.—A crack in the enamel surface.
Lift.—An area of metal base from which the enamel has separated.Pinhole.—A hole which extends through the enamel to the metal base.
53. Blemishes.Dimple.—A slight depression in the enamel surface.
Lump.—A raised portion of the enamel surface.
Specks.—Particles of foreign matter which produce a colored portionof the surface:
Small: 1/100 to 1/64 inch in maximum dimension.Medium: Over 1/64 to 1/32 inch in maximum dimension.Large: Over 1/32 to 1/16 inch m maximum dimension.
Waviness.—The appearance of irregular surface in the glaze. Somewaviness in an enamel surface is unavoidable and is not cause for
rejection.
54. Ledge hack.—A flat ledge at the back of a lavatory or sink, notmore than 2 inches higher than the rim and extending the full length
of the flxture, on which the supply fitting can be mounted and small
articles can be placed;or a similar construction with a center panel
suitable for mounting a supply fitting.
55. Shelj hack.—A flat elevation at the back of a lavatory, higher
than 2 inches above the rim and extending the full length of the
Enameled Cast-Iron Plumbing Fixtures 7
fixture, on the top or front of which the supply fitting can be mountedand on which small articles can be placed; or a similar construction
with a center panel formed into the shelf suitable for mounting asupply fitting.
INSPECTION RULES56.
The fixture shall be examined with the eyes of the observerabout 2 feet from the surface observed. The light source shall bepartially diffused daylight, supplemented if necessary with diffused
artificial light, the total being of intensity approximating that usually
available within a few feet of an outside window, but not in direct
sunlight. No actual count or measure of blemishes should be at-
tempted except in case of doubt, since with practice, dimensionallimits and numbers can readily be gaged by the eye. No flaws shall
be allowed. Some waviness in an enamel surface is unavoidable andis not cause for rejection; other blemishes shall be limited to those
listed in table 1.

METHODS OF TEST
57. Warpage .—The fixture shall be placed on a flat surface so as to
ascertain the amount of deviation from the horizontal plane at theedges of the fixture. If a feeler gage of thickness equal to the total
allowable warpage will not slide under the fixture without forcing, thefixture satisfactorily comes within the warpage limitations. If thefixture will rock on two opposite high corners, the horizontal planeshall be determined by placing one feeler gage of the total warpageallowed under one low corner and holding the fixture firmly on this
gage. If a second feeler gage of the same thickness will not slide underthe fixture at any other point, the fixture is not warped out of thehorizontal plane by more than the specified tolerance, and satisfactorily
comes within the warpage limitations.
58. Tests for acid-resisting enamel.58a. Methods of test.—Acid-resisting enamel shall be subjected
either to the lemon test or to the citric acid test, as specified below,but in cases of dispute the citric acid test shall be the umpire test.
The test for subsurface acid-resistance may be made at the optionof the purchasing agency or the inspector.
58b. Lemon test .—A freshly cut half of a normally ripe lemon shall
be applied to a cleaned area of the enameled ware, and after 24 hours
786273—48 2
8 Commercial Standard CS77-JfS
at room temperature the lemon shall be removed and the surfacewashed with water and wiped dry. No effect on the enamel shall bevisible upon careful inspection.
58c. Citric acid test {umpire test).—A fresh test solution made of
one part citric acid crystals to ten parts water by weight shall beapplied to the surface of the enamel for 15 minutes, at the end of
which period, after washing and drying, no effect of the acid on thetreated area shall be visible upon careful inspection. The ware andthe acid solution shall have been stored for not less than 3 hoursimmediately preceding the tests in an atmosphere at 80° F, ± 10° F,and the tests shall be made under these conditions of temperature.The test solution shall be applied to clean areas in pools consisting of
several drops and covered with a watch glass to hold the solution in
place.
58d. Test for subsurface acid-resistance of enamel coatings on cast
iron.—The test is ordinarily made on a flat or nearly flat specimen2 inches square cut from a fixture.
(1) Grind off the enamel so as to expose a smooth oblique section
of the coating and part of the metal base. Specimens cut from thearticle may be ground along a cut edge. The oblique section of
enamel shall be % inch, inch (1.6 to 2.2 cm) wide. The abrasiveused in grinding shall pass a No. 150 sieve and shall be moistenedduring grinding.
(2) Restore the gloss to the ground enamel surface by refiring just
sufficiently to obtain a fire polish. The polished surface shall permitready cleaning, with a dry cloth, of marks made by a colored waxpencil.
(3) Apply the citric acid test, as specified in paragraph 58c, to thefull width of the fire-polished oblique section. The cut specimensmay be immersed in the test solution. After application of the test
solution for 15 minutes, the treated surface shall be washed and dried.
(4) The entire oblique section shall be rubbed with a colored waxpencil, and the deposit of colored wax rubbed with a dry cloth. If thewax cannot be readily and evenly removed from all portions of thetreated area of enamel by rubbing, thus indicating that the enamelhas been roughened by the test solution, the enamel shall not beconsidered acid-resisting throughout.
59. Trade-mark.—In order to fix the responsibility for quality, the*
enameled cast-iron plumbing fixtures shall bear the manufacturer’sname, or trade-mark duly applied for or registered under the laws of
the United States. All acid-resisting enameled fixtures shall bear the
manufacturer’s mark permanently signifying acid-resisting enamel.These marks shall be located, if possible, so as to be visible after thefixture is installed.

HISTORY OF PROJECT
On March 28, 1939, the National Bureau of Standards was requestedby the Sanitary Cast Iron Enameled Ware Association to assist theindustry in the establishment of a commercial standard for sanitarycast-iron enameled ware. A proposed draft submitted by the Asso-ciation was circulated to other interested organizations for comment.Their composite recommendations were incorporated in an adjusteddraft which was circulated on July 12, 1939, to all branches of thetrade. Upon receipt of endorsements in writing sufficient to repre-
sent a satisfactory majority of production volume, announcement wasmade that the standard would become effective October 10, 1939.
Recommendations were received from the Sanitary Cast Iron Enam-eled Ware Association on March 30, 1940, for certain revisions beforeprinting, to require that acid-resisting enamel shall be acid-resistant
throughout its thickness, and to replace a hydrochloric acid test withthe citric acid umpire test. These and mmor editorial changes wereendorsed by the standing committee and circulated to the trade. Onfurther recommendation from the standing committee, in view of
wide agreement on the changes, the trade was notified that in theabsence of objection the revision would be promulgated. Followingreceipt of sufficient written acceptances, the establishment of the re-
vision was announced on April 25, 1940, as Commercial StandardCS77-40, and it was later issued as the first printed edition.
10 Commercial Standard GS77-Jix^
Second edition .—A recommended revision was received from theEnameled Cast Iron Plumbing Fixtures Association under date of
May 13, 1946, consisting chiefly of a list of standard types and sizes
of fixtures, together with recommendations to eliminate certain fix-
tures which appeared to be no longer needed by the trade. A changein the title was also recommended, as well as the addition of require-
ments on dimensional tolerances, a list of standard colors, and defini-
tions for ledge-back and shelf-back fixtures. Upon circulation to theindustry on December 29, 1947, following approval by the standingcommittee, the revision was accepted in writing by a satisfactory
majority, and the second edition was announced on April 30, 1948,as Commercial Standard CS77-48.
STANDING COMMITTEE
The following individuals comprise the membership of the standingcommittee, which is to review, prior to circulation for acceptance,revisions proposed to keep the standard abreast of progress. Eachorganization nominated its own representative. Comment concerningthe standard and suggestions for revision may be addressed to anymember of the committee or to the Commodity Standards Division,

TO THE ACCEPTOR
The following statements answer the usual questions arising in
connection with the acceptance and its significance:
1. Enforcement.—Commercial standards are commodity specifica-
tions voluntarily established by mutual consent of those concerned.They present a common basis of understanding between the producer,distributor, and consumer and should not be confused with any planof governmental regulation or control. The United States Depart-ment of Commerce has no regulatory power in the enforcement oftheir provisions, but since they represent the will of the interestedgroups as a whole, their provisions through usage soon become estab-lished as trade customs, and are made effective through incorporationinto sales contracts by means of labels, invoices, and the like.
2. The acceptors responsibility
.
—The purpose of commercial stand-ards is to establish for specific commodities, nationally recognizedgrades or consumer criteria and the benefits therefrom will be measur-able in direct proportion to their general recognition and actual use.
Instances will occur when it may be necessary to deviate from thestandard and the signing of an acceptance does not preclude suchdepartures; however, such signature indicates an intention to follow
the commercial standard where practicable, in the production, dis-
tribution, or consumption of the article in question.
3. The Departments responsibility.—The major function performedby the Department of Commerce in the voluntary establishment of
commercial standards on a Nation-wide basis is fourfold; first, to actas an unbiased coordinator to bring all interested parties together for
the mutually satisfactory adjustment of trade standards; second, to
supply such assistance and advice as past experience with similar
programs may suggest;third, to canvass and record the extent of
acceptances and adherence to the standard on the part of producers,distributors, and users, and fourth, after acceptance, to publish andpromulgate the standard for the information and guidance of buyersand sellers of the commodity.
4. Announcement and promulgation.—When the standard has beenendorsed by a satisfactory majority of production or consumption in
the absence of active valid opposition, the success of the project is
announced. If, however, in the opinion of the Standing Committeeor the Department of Commerce, the support of any standard is
inadequate, the right is reserved to withhold promulgation andpublication.
